Flats Fishing:
Cozumel island offers great flats fishing; best off all, Cozumel is a place where you can flyfish all day. The flats and the saltwater lagoons located in the north of the island: Montecristo, Paso Balem and Rio de la Plata are teeming with bonefish, baby tarpon, permit and snook.The number one quarry in Cozumel would be the bonefish, fish in the 3 to 4 pound range are usual, with some 10 pounders around. This is sightfishing for tailing bonefish in very shallow water. It would be your choice to fish from the boat as your guide poles you around or you could wade (the entire area is for wading). The area offers also: birdwatching, wild animal life and some archeological sites around. Cozumel Island also offers a good variety of flats species that are found year round: jacks, barracuda, mangrove snapper, cubera snapper, mutton snapper, trigerfish, baby sharks, etc
Bluewater Flyfishing:
Cozumel is famous for the billfish run in the Yucatan channel. The months of: March, April, May and June offer the best bet for bluewater flyfishing. Sailfish, dorado, spearfish, white marlin and blue marlin are the main targets for the fly fisherman.
Plus some tunas, bonitos, barracudas, kingfish and wahoo around. There are some boats with flyfishing expertise in Cozumel, the Captain and mate(s) will help you tease this fish close to the stern so you can cast your fly at them.
The first flyrod world record ever for spearfish on a fly was caught in Cozumel waters, also the first (and only one so far) bluewater flyrod slam (Sailfish, blue and white marlin) was also caught in the Yucatan channel. A good proof that Cozumel´s bluewater flyfishing can get red hot anytime
